At the heart of Vienna is a deep tradition of love for music. At the heart of our OC18 is an equally passionate commitment to sound and engineering excellence – our handcrafted CKR-12 capsule. There are very few people that can design let alone construct a classic edge-terminated capsule. There is also the question of building them by hand in Europe. The good news is that the skill knowledge and tradition live on at Austrian Audio. See Monika has been building high-end transducers since the mid-1990s. Her hands have carefully constructed some of the most respected audio tools in the world. When she wasn making classics she was training a new generation on the art and craft of proper transducer construction. That tradition and heritage continues as Monika has made every CKR12 to date along with most of our microphones and is now training the next generation of historic transducer and microphone builders at Austrian Audio.
